Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"Giant Star in Parallel Time and Space ()"

"No way, Chen Mubai chose to release it on the 6th!?"

"Damn, it's a bit tough, isn't he afraid of "Monster 2"?"

"Is this accidental or deliberate?"

"I watched the trailer of "Infernal Affairs" and I thought it was pretty good, but I waited for "Monster 2" for a year. The two movies were released on the same day, which is really hard for me."

"I feel that Chen Mubai is a bit irrational. It will be released on the same day as "Monster 2", won't the box office be suppressed?"

"Brothers, support Chen Mubai, he is one of the few directors and stars in China who rely on his works to speak."

"I admire his courage, but I always feel that it will be miserable..."

Netizens affirmed after watching the trailer of "Infernal Affairs", but it is really surprising to think that the release date is the same day as "Monster 2".

The heat of this matter is getting more and more fermented, and many people are guessing the reason why Chen Mubai did this.

Some people say that he doesn't pay attention to foreign blockbusters because he is inflated.

Some people also said that he did this on purpose, in order to let everyone know that the quality of Chinese movies is not inferior to foreign movies, and to arouse the blood of the film and television industry!

After all, over the years, everyone has been terrified of foreign blockbusters, hiding as much as they can, and will never compete with them on the same schedule.

Be timid before fighting, this is the psychology of Chinese films when they encounter foreign blockbusters.

Generally speaking, foreign blockbuster films require large investment and good special effects. Even if they are action films, the scene is very grand, and in addition to facing the global market, the probability of recovering the cost is also high.

Huaxia films are basically developed locally, and it is difficult to recover the cost if too much investment is made. Therefore, in terms of the fame of the actors and special effects, the gap has become apparent. It is indeed difficult for Huaxia films to compete with foreign blockbusters.

Chen Mubai, as one of the most successful filmmakers in the past two years, if he wants to change this problem, he must face foreign blockbusters head-on and let everyone see hope.

However, this kind of interpretation is more considered by netizens to be the wishful thinking of Chen Mubai's fans. They don't believe that Chen Mubai has such lofty feelings.

As for the reasons for doing this, there are various arguments. Amidst the discussions, time passed quietly.

Time soon came to July 5th.

You can see the new movie released tonight, and everyone is looking forward to it.

During the day, there was a discussion about which movie to watch.

"Which movie are you watching today, brothers!"

"I will support "Infernal Affairs" and Chen Mubai!"

"It must be "Infernal Affairs". Don't even think about it. Support domestic production!"

"Why is nationality involved when watching a movie? Can't you just watch whatever genre you like?"

"Yes, I like to watch foreign blockbusters with realistic special effects, especially the special effects of the "Monster" series have always been top-notch. This is really a visual feast. Who doesn't like to watch it?"

"Going to the cinema is just for enjoyment. It's really cool to watch blockbuster movies with special effects. Movies like "Infernal Affairs" actually have the same effect on the website, but there is still a big gap between watching movies with special effects online and watching them in 3D in theaters. .”

"I believe that "Infernal Affairs" is not necessarily worse than "Monster 2". I will support Chen Mubai, and several stars in this movie are my favorite stars. There are so many stars, I must support it!"

"...Does this still need to be discussed? It's fine if you can't see both of them?"

These days, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" is doing very intensive promotional activities, just to increase the film's influence.

Everyone knows that their number one opponent "Monster 2" will definitely have a strong influence on them, and they can only increase their efforts in publicity to reduce the opponent's influence.

Chen Mubai, Liang Wei and other main creators are running around in three places on both sides of the strait for publicity. Because "Monster 2" is an international blockbuster and the leading actors are all internationally famous stars,

Coupled with the word-of-mouth in the front seat, there are a lot of people discussing it, and there are also many fans of the series of movies, and the topic is very high.

"Monster 2" was released abroad first, and it has a good reputation, and the special effects are still worthy of praise. Many people gave a relatively good evaluation after watching it.

The box office performance abroad is also very good, and these news have been sent back to China, and the major media have reported on the relevant information of this movie.

Compared with the quality of an unknown "Infernal Affairs", the quality of "Monster 2" has already come out.

Although it is not of particularly high quality, it is considered a qualified popcorn movie. Moreover, this kind of movie itself is a special effect, and the storyline is relatively simple. It does not require too much thinking, and it is refreshing to watch.

The entire crew of "Monster 2" came to Huaxia to start promoting the film, but they only went to a few important occasions, and they would not promote too frequently.

After all, he is an internationally renowned movie star, and the movie is also a big production with great appeal. A few press conferences are enough. If there are too many promotional events, it will lose its reputation.

This is compelling, famous and popular, that's all.

The crew of "Infernal Affairs" is a large-scale publicity. After all, they are inferior to "Monster 2" in every aspect, so naturally they don't have their kind of confidence.

Facing such a powerful opponent, they seize every opportunity as much as possible.

Liang Wei and others were also under great pressure, and this was the first time they faced such a powerful opponent.

They really didn't expect that Chen Mubai would choose to release it on this date, let alone that Luo Fan and others would agree, it's a miracle!

But at the same time of panic, there is also excitement in my heart, what if I win?

The odds are small, but not impossible.

They still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and Luo Fan and others have also given them hints that the quality of the movie is very good, which gives them great confidence.

Therefore, they are also doing their best to promote the movie.

In case, they really won "Monster 2", they are also the first ones who dared to release a foreign blockbuster on the same day, and defeated each other in a head-to-head confrontation!

It will be an honor and a record.

...

"Xiaoxiao, let's rest in the morning tomorrow and go out to play in the afternoon." The roommate said to Zhao Xiaoxiao.

"Well, let's go to the premiere of "Infernal Affairs". I've been waiting for this movie for a long time!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said happily.

This summer, Zhao Xiaoxiao did not go home, but chose to travel with her roommates.

Their daily itinerary is arranged, which is planned before departure.

However, they deliberately squeezed out half a day to rest, because they were going to watch the premiere of their idol Chen Mubai's new movie.

The premiere is at 12 o'clock in the morning, and it will be more than 2 o'clock after watching the movie, and it will be more than 3 o'clock to go back to wash up. It is not realistic to get up early the next day and go out to play. I don't have that energy. I can only choose to rest for half a day to recover my energy before going out. Play.

Every day of traveling is very important, after all, the number of days to play is only a few days, but for them, it is more important to support Chen Mubai's works in the first place!

Therefore, they would rather choose to rest for half a day, and look for a movie theater to watch movies when they are out and about, which shows how much they like Chen Mubai!

There are quite a few iron fans like this, they were all moved by Chen Mubai's personal charm, and then fell in love with him.

After all, Chen Mubai is too good, handsome, and kind to his fans. He has no airs and is very fond of fans. Basically, he will try his best to fulfill the fans' requests, just like listening to his songs at the concert, he will satisfy them.

Who doesn't like such an idol?

Of course, it is also worthy of everyone's liking.

"Do you think Chen Mubai will win?" asked the roommate.

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded as it should.

"But the opponent is "Monster 2"!"

"That will!"

The roommate hesitated and said, "Actually, I really want to watch "Monster 2" first."

She has watched the first step of this movie and was impressed by the monsters in it. When she knew the time of the second movie, she was ready to watch it.

It's just that she didn't expect to be on the same day as the movie "Infernal Affairs", which made her a little uncomfortable.

"We will watch it when we go back, and we must be supporting Chen Mubai's work right now!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

"Actually, I'm interested in these two movies during the summer vacation~"

It will be next week when they go back, so they have missed a crucial week at the box office.

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't want to contribute to the other party's box office at this time, so the subsequent impact would not be that great.

"Yeah!" The roommate nodded emphatically.

...

"Xiaoya, I'm back."

Sun-dong opens the door and shouts into the house.

"Ah!" A surprised female voice came from inside the room: "Why did you come back so early today!?"

Sun Dong usually has to work overtime until after 8 o'clock to get off work, but today he came back at 6 o'clock, which is abnormal!

"Let's go out for dinner today." Sun Dong came to the girl, stroked her hair and smiled.

The girl's name is Zhao Ya, who was his blind date at the beginning of the year.

Their relationship has rapidly heated up in the past few months. Zhao Ya came to the city where Sun Dong worked to fight together. The two liked each other very much and regarded him as the object of marriage.

"Why did you go out to eat?" Zhao Ya wondered.

"I bought two movie tickets. Today is the day when Chen Mubai's new movie will be released." Sun Dong took out his mobile phone and showed Zhao Ya the purchased movie tickets.

"Ah!" Zhao Ya exclaimed.

"So, I came back early, let's have dinner together, then go shopping and watch a movie."

Sun Dong took Zhao Ya's hand and said softly, "I don't usually have much time to accompany you. Finally, Chen Mubai's movie is released, so I want to watch it with you."

Both of them like Chen Mubai very much, and they got together because of watching his movies. Chen Mubai's movies have a special meaning for them.

"Yes." Zhao Ya happily agreed while hugging Sun Dong.

...

The premiere ceremony was still held in the largest movie theater in Shanghai, where the stars were shining brightly.

All the main creators of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" came together, and everyone attended the ceremony together.

This premiere is the biggest ever held by Mubai Entertainment. After all, there are many actors involved in this movie, and they are all well-known stars, which is very different from the previous ones.

In the past, they were all their own artists, and the famous ones were Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao.

This time it was different, it was full of big names, so the premiere ceremony was naturally much grander.

Many media reporters came to the scene, as well as many film and television practitioners, film critics and so on.

It was mainly because of Chen Mubai's bold decision to compete on the same stage with "Monster 2", so they wanted to watch the movie as soon as possible, go back and write related news releases, and gain traffic.

They will watch both movies, and as for watching "Infernal Affairs" for the first time, they also have the meaning of supporting Chen Mubai in their hearts.

They also hope in their hearts that Chen Mubai can beat the other party and be honored with you.

After a brief hustle and bustle, the main creators began to take their seats, and everyone began to enjoy the film.

Before the official screening, the creators of "Infernal Affairs" were very confident in the film, especially Liang Wei and others, even praised the film outright.

The sincere expression on his face and tone of voice did not seem to be fake, and he even said that this may be the most exciting undercover film he has ever shot, and he was very grateful to be able to participate in it.

As a well-known film and television superstar in China, Liang Wei's words carry a lot of weight. With such a high evaluation, it can be seen that the movie is excellent.

Liang Wei was not aimless, he watched the entire film during the viewing session, so he made this comment.

The premiere is full of people, that's for sure, and many people also hope to see the main creative team on the spot.

At the same time, the rest of the halls were basically full of people. After all, Shanghai Huaying is the largest movie theater in Shanghai. Everyone knows that the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" is here. Many people choose this place as their first choice. If you are lucky, you can still see Chen Mubai!

Everyone started watching the movie with high expectations.

Except here, there are many other movie theaters. After all, it is summer vacation, many students are on vacation, and they have time to watch movies.

"Monster 2" occupies the absolute first place with a 41% screening rate. In the eyes of major theaters, this is a movie that must make money, so the screening rate is naturally high.

Who has trouble with money?

"Infernal Affairs" takes second place with 26 percent of the film schedule, and the rest of the film schedule.

The premiere of these two films today will naturally have a higher lineup, and the box office is also the highest in the first few days of the film. At this time, the more films are lined up, the higher the box office will be.

Compared with "Monster 2", the screening rate of "Infernal Affairs" is indeed not high, but compared with other movies, it is already very high!

Many of the remaining movies were released in June or even in the middle of the month, but because of the strong attack of these two movies, the schedule has been greatly reduced!

This also means that theaters are optimistic about these two films. Combined with the current topic and popularity on the Internet, these two films are indeed the highest, much higher than other works.

No matter in terms of investment, production lineup, and cast, these two dramas are actually the top summer works and the most watched movies.

It's just a pity that the two movies were released on the same day, which is a bit like a planet hitting the earth.

Judging from the pre-sale box office of the movie, "Monster 2" is tens of millions more than "Infernal Affairs" at the box office!

There are more moviegoers watching "Monster 2" than "Infernal Affairs" in the cinema, and the attendance rate is similar, but "Monster 2" has a lot of movies, so the number of people watching it will naturally increase.

Chen Mubai has many fans, but many people came to support him during the premiere.

Therefore, although the box office is not as good as "Monster 2", the gap is not as bad as expected.

After everyone entered the theater, they found their seats, sat down, ate popcorn and drank Coke, and began to wait for "Infernal Affairs" to start playing.
